Chapter 8 Reunited

• ~Vonte~
• I know that’s her brother, but WTF?!
• I know, but he’s the Alpha here, so we have to eat it. I really want to rip my brother-in-mate’s head off right now. He’s being way too aggressive towards my mate. Honestly, it’s not me that has an issue; instead, it’s Abel. I know how sibling love can get, and I think it’s cute.
• Luna Jenna leads us up the steps and into the packhouse. We stop right inside the doorway, watching Lynn plead for mercy. Mark has her on the couch, tickling her with everything he has. I didn’t realize my mate was ticklish, but now I have something to use to my advantage.
• I sit in an armchair across from them, and my brother sits in an armchair next to mine. We are both enjoying the show. I turn to Luna Jenna, who decides to stand between us and notice the smirk on her face. “Are they always like this?”
• “To be honest, I don’t know. Mark and I had a rocky start at best and left right after accepting each other. I’m sure you heard about the mess that pack has dealt with.” I nod. “Yeah, well, all that kept us from just living and enjoying each other. I’ve never been able to see them as brother and sister.” That’s pretty sad, if I’m being honest. There should never be so much drama that people can’t enjoy simply living life. I hope to help put this latest mess to bed so everyone can enjoy their daily lives.
• “ALRIGHT! QUIT ASSHOLE!” Mark slaps Lynn on her ass and then sits back on the couch. Lynn struggles to sit up, fixing her clothes as she does. She lays her head on Mark’s shoulder and places her left hand in his right. They look content and at home with each other. I love that for her. “Jenna, I don’t know how, but you need to get him under control. He’s a fucking menace.”
• Jenna laughs and shakes her head. “You know how he is. There is no taming him, though I have to say that I’m surprised.”
• “Surprised? Why?”
• “I didn’t realize he could be like this. Taking over as Alpha has limited his free time to just be carefree.” Lynn slides her leg over Mark’s and gets comfortable.
• “Yeah, I’ve been a busy bitch since I’ve become Beta. I barely know what ‘free time’ is anymore.” Lynn looks around the room, and her eyes suddenly get big. I can feel her surprise and excitement through the bond. She hops off the couch and hurries over to Jenna. They have a short staring contest before Lynn crouches down. Her hands land on Jenna’s stomach, and her eyes start to tear up. “I….. I’m going to be an auntie?” She looks back at Mark before looking at Jenna again.
• “Uh, yeah. We’re pregnant.” Lynn squeals and stands up quickly, wrapping her arms around Jenna.
• “Congrats, man.”
• “Yeah, congrats, you guys. I’m happy for you,” I say to the couple. Lynn lets go of Jenna and marches back to the couch. She leans over, poking Mark in the chest.
• “We were on the fucking phone, and you didn’t think to tell me?! Nah, fuck that! The minute you found out, you should have fucking told me.” Mark grabs Lynn, and she falls next to him. He wraps his arms around her and kisses her temple.
• “Forgive me, oh greatest sister in the world! I’m sincerely sorry that I didn’t tell you. It wasn’t on purpose; life just got in the way. You will be an auntie really soon. I’m going to be a dad and I’m freaked the fuck out.”
• “As a matter of fact, we just told the parents, and your parents will be here soon.” We sit quietly for a while, Mark and Lynn enjoying their reunion. Lynn gets up and stretches.
• “It’s been a long drive and day. I’m beat. If you don’t mind showing me to our room…..I want to get some rest.” Jenna is the first to move, and Lynn stops abruptly behind her. She turns to us, and Goddess, I want her right here, right now.
• “Are you two coming?” Devonte and I both move to follow her until his voice stops us.
• “Not so fast.” We sit back and turn to Mark. “They’ll be up soon.” Lynn huffs and rolls her eyes, following behind Jenna.
• Uh, beautiful…..are you really going to leave us here?
• Sorry, boys, but the Alpha has spoken. I will see you two upstairs. Don’t make me wait too long, or I will have to start without you.
• ~Mark~
• The three of us are left in the front room, looking at each other. I’m feeling them out as much as I suspect they are doing to me. These are my sister’s fated mates….twin brothers. I can’t say I’m surprised she ended up with two mates. My sister is….A LOT, and I doubt there was just one person who could handle her.
• The brothers look at each other before looking back at me. I’m taking them all in: their similarities and their differences. I want to get to know them while they’re here, though there’s important business to take care of.
• Vonte looks like he wants to jump up and storm out while his brother is much calmer. You can tell which brother is the diplomat and which is the one that shoots from the hip. Those are definitely my sister’s different sides, so they should have no problem dealing with her.
• I can tell that I’m making them squirm, and I love it. I don’t wish these men any bad will. My sister is a great judge of character. I know that if she accepted them, they are stand-up men. I have no doubt that they will be good to her and good for the pack.
• I clear my throat, and both men turn their eyes to me. I could make this really bad; I could be a real asshole. I could pull the big brother card and let them have it. Something tells me, though, they’d be unaffected. “You guys know the spiel, so there’s no need to go through it. I trust my sister, so I trust you.” I stand up and head to the doorway. “I’ll show you guys up.”
